Defendants.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“Report”) (Doc.
81) of Magistrate Judge Stephen C. Williams with regard to the defendants’ motion for summary
judgment. (Doc. 75.) The Court may accept, reject, or modify—in whole or in part—the findings
or recommendations of a magistrate judge in a report and recommendation. FED. R. CIV. P.
72(b)(3). The Court must review de novo the portions of the report to which objections are
made. Id. “If no objection or only partial objection is made, the district court judge reviews
those unobjected portions for clear error.” Johnson v. Zema Sys. Corp., 170 F.3d 734, 739 (7th
Cir. 1999).
Here, the Court has received no objection to the Report. The Court has reviewed the
entire file and finds that the Report is not clearly erroneous. Accordingly, the Court hereby:


ADOPTS the Report in its entirety (Doc. 81);



GRANTS the defendants’ motion for summary judgment (Doc. 75); and



DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to TERMINATE “Doctor King” as a defendant.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
